The Montville Education Foundation is a non-profit organization established for the purpose of promoting excellence in education for all Towaco, Montville and Pine Brook Schools. The Foundation provides grant money to teachers with innovative ideas for enhancing a child’s educational experience. The challenge for educators is often the inability to obtain district funding due to budgetary constraints. Through MEF grants, teachers are able to obtain funding and have their creative ideas come to fruition. The MEf has funded over $400,000 in educational grants. The most recent grants include:
- Creating a Broadcast News Room for Lazar Middle School
- Donating a Book Vending Machine for Cedar Hill School
- Developing Kinetic Learning Environments for Valley View and Cedar Hill Elementary Schools
- Purchasing a 3-dimensional pottery printer for the Montville High School
- Supporting the School of Rock with sound equipment
